The website Pop Sugar has a photo gallery of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hanging out on a balcony in L.A. this week with new wife Gisele Bundchen and his little son John. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart also makes an appearance.
Pop Sugar gushes about how hot Brady looks, but my discerning eye sees doughy and out of shape; guess we have different standards for yummy. Hot or not? I vote not; what about you?

Doughy and out of shape for a professional athlete, maybe, but still in better shape than a heck of a lot of people.

He looks fine for a recently married father of one who got hurt at work and has had alot of downtime. He still has abs for Christsake.
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 7:23 AM
That’s what’s wrong with “the gays.” They only see yummy in some toned body.
We really need to get passed this!
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 10:48 AM
Looks good to me
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 11:01 AM
WHAT….are you kidding me!?!?! HOT!!!!!
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 11:24 AM
Tom Brady is just one of those athletes that I just don’t get. I find him rather unattractive, even if he is buff. Maybe it’s his demeaner? Maybe its becuase he complained about not getting his free Cadillac when he won his MVP & 3rd Super Bowl??? Find him very asexual
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 2:43 PM
Totally agree Mike Jones. While I will look at someone with a body like The Rock or Brad Pitt from Troy or Tyson Beckford and say wow nice body and drool…ultimately its Brady’s kind of body that I prefer lying next to me in bed….in shape, nice tone but not all swollen. My touch senses are turned on more by a guy’s body like Brady’s than some 2% body fat guy who is all muscle. To each his own but yeah…we go on and on about how other people are so judgmental of us yet there is no community more superficial than the gay community.
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 4:31 PM
How many gay men would be happy to be as out of shape as Tom Brady?
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 5:28 PM
he is gor-geous. sorry Jim that he can’t wash his clothes on his abs. the only thing worse that a size queen is an abs-queen, get over yourself.
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 6:30 PM
Holy crap he’s hot. I’m not really into six pacs cause chances are that no one who look that good will like someone like me but wow looking out of shape is working for him
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Oh, give me a break. A big good looking man that could kick all your asses and youre bitching because he picked up a little beer fat. Either he doesnt want the ripped look or he’s just taking a break from training. A good trainer could get him there in 6 weeks. While many ‘mos like the look of a ripped dude the vast majority of chicks don’t like the look.
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Diggin Tom’s nipples. Nice pecs there.
on Mar 5th, 2009 at 9:54 PM
“that could kick all your asses.”
I think I could take him!
on Mar 6th, 2009 at 12:25 AM
You must be crazy, His body is nice, but look at that face. YUMMY.
on Mar 6th, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Hey Jim let’s see what your boy Peyton looks like sans shirt…I bet he looks even doughier during the seaon!
And the face? Let’s just say he looks like he playing for the right team. 
on Mar 6th, 2009 at 4:40 PM
I’d do him…. errr… take him… err… whatever I can get
He’s still hot, no matter what.
on Mar 7th, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Flabby…
on Mar 8th, 2009 at 1:49 AM
No wonder gay dudes have issues with their bodies…they read some of the BS on boards like this and think if I dont spend 4 hours a day working out, tanning, waxing and buffing, I will NEVER get a BF…
on Mar 8th, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Chris K not everyone is as shallow or stupid as Jim
on Mar 8th, 2009 at 11:40 PM
Now that’s not very nice. There’s no need to insult the editor.
on Mar 9th, 2009 at 1:41 AM
by insisting on nothing less than perfection for TOM BRADY to be considered attractive, Jim is doing a disservice to gay men everywhere by reinforcing the stereotype that gay men are shallow, obsessed with bodily perfection and must push themselves at all costs to get rock-hard abs so god forbid they are considered NOT attractive like TOM FRICKIN BRADY! Nice blow to the self-esteem of gay men everywhere, Jim.
on Mar 9th, 2009 at 2:03 AM
Druggybear:
I don’t find Tom Brady sexy. Many readers told me I am crazy. I would assume that in any poll of gay men, my view of Brady would be in the distinct minority. But it sounds like you want me to shape my sexual tastes to fit yours. To each his own.
on Mar 9th, 2009 at 7:38 AM
Sorry he looks flappy to me. i don’t get it. were’s the six pack. and he looks like he has tits… yuk
on Mar 9th, 2009 at 8:07 PM
Hey DruggyBear!
So let me get this straight, you think Jim is shallow because he doesn’t find Brady attractive? How does that work? Did it ever occur to you he doesn’t really find Brady attractive, I know for fact he doesn’t.
Also, by you saying that gay men should find all men attractive regardless of how fit they are, you’re also perpetuating a stereotype that gay men want to ‘hit’ anything they can.
Your argument is flawed in the fact you’re beating a false perception of a stereotype with an actual stereotype. Please refrain from making comments about people which turn out to be wrong and end up making a bad name for yourself.
on Mar 9th, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Whether Tom Brady is attractive to all or not, there is a decided “green-eyed monster” factor in the disdain toward Brady. Only those who disparage the Patriot quarterback can honestly say what their reasons are. I don’t expect honesty when it comes to admitting venality in taste.
on Mar 9th, 2009 at 9:38 PM
So one must like one if one is the prize of a sugar daddy? Because that’s what you just basically said.
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 12:49 AM
To Jim: I’m not asking you to shape your sexual tastes to mine at all, I’m just calling you out for perpetuating a negative stereotype of all gay men as shallow gym-bunnies. i don’t care what gets you off just don’t put down every guy whose abs you can’t bounce a quarter off of.
To D.J.: Where did I say that gay men should “hit anything they can”? that’s bullshit, I just pointed out that setting impeccably high standards for ANY man to be considered attractive is doing a disservice to our community. So quit lying about me and get back to the gym and do some crunches, sweetie, so Jim won’t look at you in disgust the next time he sees you…..
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 4:19 AM
DruggyBear, first of all, I’m 18. I’m not Jim’s boyfriend. I would honestly appreciate it if you don’t tell me to work out since I’m damn sure I’m in a much better shape than most of the people my age, refrain from calling me sweety as I find it irritating.
FYI, the abs muscles are very weak and don’t contribute to much except aesthetics. You would have known that had you not resorted to low blows.
Second of all, Jim stated that he didn’t find Brady attractive. You assumed because he didn’t fall into the physical guidelines of what a man should look like to attract gay male attention. However, in the same sense you also concluded that regardless of what he looks like he should be loved by all. This article has been written with sexual connotations, you were implying all gay men should love each other and straight men at that in a sexual manner. I also wasn’t lying about you. That, my friend is not called lying. It’s called debating and debunking your theory of what gay men should like and went outright to putting down the author of the article.
I’m a psychology major. I know when a person writes a reply such as yours, they’re basically pissed off that some 18 year old kid ended up showing how wrong they were.
BTW, based on your name and the way your personal blog is set up, I would go as far as saying that you’re not very confident about your image so you take what hatred that was spewed toward you and throw it back to others. If you honestly think you can hold a debate regarding the quality of your negative commentary, I would recommend moving on. As anything you’ve said thus far has been easily trumped over.
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 10:25 AM
DJ, you might want to wait until you actually get your degree before waving around that psychology major…
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 4:00 PM
first of all, DJ, thanks for the blog hits. secondly, it figures, only a pysch major would spew such bullshit and think he is actually making sense, oh and DJ every idiot on my dorm floor who couldn’t cut it in their preferred major ended up in psych, so don’t get hurt patting yourself on the back so hard. oh and what does your psych book say about 18 year-olds who are so self-congratulatory when they THINK they have someone figured out? it probably says they are trying too hard and hardly ever right, then again you don’t need to be a psych major to know that!
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 7:22 PM
It figures? I could have said something else and you’d say that same retort.
I guess you attended clown school since you’re acting like an asshat right now, great job. FYI, majors are taken seriously in real universities. 22 people have been put on probation and 2 have been cut from the program.
I never said I had your figured out. What I said is basically common sense. You’re in the bear scene, you don’t get too many lookers your way, you’re not happy about your self image. So when someone like Jim doesn’t appreciate Brady you get all pissy about it. Not trying to be rude here, just letting you know that it is common sense to see when someone gets agitated when they are indeed wrong.
You sir clearly have body issues and used the anonymity of this this blog system to lash out and act like an E-Tough guy. Someone struck a wound of yours with salt and now you’re acting like how you are because of it.
I’m going to be the bigger and more mature man here and step away from this ridiculous argument.
Have a good day.
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 8:13 PM
hey DJ i am proud to be a bear and I have been w/ plenty of guys, just because i am in the bear scene i must be ashamed? hey idiot, i am in the bear scene because i am PROUD of my body! i am just sick of attitudes like yours and jim’s and think they do such damage to the image of gay men and to our self-esteem, that’s all, sweetie. now get back to those studies, you have a lot to learn…
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 8:28 PM
I was never hagging on you, however your first post in your blog seems to say otherwise of what you listed above.
http://druggybear.blogspot.com/2009/02/gird-your-loins.html
“well, after lurking around, then finally joining up, and then getting BANNED from several sites, I’ve decided to start a blog of my own. I mean, how else will my voice be heard!? and dare I say, mine is a voice worth hearing, you’ll discover that pretty quick. Politically, I am an independent, as there are things I like about both the Democrats (socially liberal) and the GOP (hawks on defense), but there’s far more things I hate about the Democrats (bunch of pussies) and the GOP (religious nutjobs). I can’t stand the 2-party system, the parties are way too polarized, and with the economy in a tailspin, the divide will only get worse. Like a lot of you, I am struggling in this recession, and as we head towards a likely depression (sorry to say it but I think it’s gonna happen), I will be here to share my experiences and to vent, so perhaps it’ll help get you through this difficult time in our country’s history by hearing from someone as pathetic as me! Besides politics, I’ll also be blogging about entertainment, sports, sex, dating, (or more likely the LACK of sex and dating!), so I’ve just barely scratched the surface here, there’s much more to come, as the banner says, poke around…. ”
You lose once more. Now I’m done with you.
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 10:57 PM
haha thanks for the publicity DJ, but what exactly are you trying to say? you seem to have a habit of throwing out accusations w/o making a convincing case about any of them, why don’t you expand a little before you are done with me (for the 3rd time)…..
on Mar 10th, 2009 at 11:21 PM
You’re a hypocrite, you’re obnoxious, you’re a pathological liar, what else?
Maybe you should expand yourself in the field of decency and respect for other human individuals. As of now, you lack in everything a decent person would have.
on Mar 11th, 2009 at 4:05 AM
Tom Brady is HOT no matter what. Get used to it! He’s adorable, intelligent, modest, sincere and has a backbone, not an ATTITUDE like so many other celebs! I wish him and Gisele the very best! Let’s see WHO has talent and class, even when they’re down. Tom is UNTOUCHABLE!
on Mar 12th, 2009 at 10:34 PM
The level of vitriol in the comments section here is quite distressing. Tom Brady looks fine the way he is. I’m sure everyone who posted on here looks fine exactly the way they are. Outsports is a wonderful resource for all of us. But there is no need to descend into name calling on the blogs.
on Mar 13th, 2009 at 1:37 AM
FYI: I deleted some back and forth comments from Druggybear and DJ that strayed way off the topic. If you two wish to engage in a dialogue, exchange e-mail addresses and do it in private.
Anyone else who wishes to discuss Tom Brady and his hotness or notness, please continue.
on Mar 13th, 2009 at 3:06 AM
LOL Jim/Cyd we love ya but are just are an opinionated cranky crew. Quite likely to disagree w/you. It’s your blog and we are guests. Block and nuke us as you see fit.
DJ – I need to get you a bottle of Scotch buddy. Love ya bud but dang ease up
Everyone has an opinion and entitled to it. I love your enthusiasm.
on Mar 13th, 2009 at 3:23 AM
OK Jim. We all stepped in it kinda w/this. Give us an idea of your ideal 6 pac (8 pac?) hottie. Football or anything else. Most of my hotties are mainstream baseball players (Raul Ibanez for example). Very good interview and man o man would I eat him up:) Burp! LOL Take a deep breath all. Kev
on Mar 13th, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Hey Kev:
You can disagree as strongly as you wish! We only blocked comments from 2 people who were attacking each other.
As for my type, it’s all over the map, but this guy would definitely be one:

on Mar 15th, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Jim’s really in to Alex Smith, so Kev, I think that’s a good indicator of Jim’s abs requirements.
Jim also lusts after Peyton Manning, so there’s a point of comparison as well.
Brady has never done anything for me, but I lust after golfers, so what do I know!
on Mar 30th, 2009 at 10:33 PM
He is hot, hot, hot. Yum, would love to have those arms around me and his manhood in me!
on Apr 6th, 2009 at 1:13 AM
Wow.
Here’s my quick and immediate impression:
Jim, you’re a shallow queen who expects something he can’t deliver in return (Cause I’m betting your body is pretty nasty looking)
DJ – Dude, why do you always run to Jim’s defense? Is he paying you for that or something?
p.s. I would think it below a psych major to be arguing back and forth on an online message board, but that’s just me.
on Jan 14th, 2010 at 3:43 PM
deals with well with people stepping out of line is an attractive thing to readers. I personally don
on Feb 12th, 2012 at 12:02 AM
what are you kidding me. were is the 6 pack???????????
on Feb 12th, 2012 at 12:03 AM
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no 6 pack or a pack at all
